C.B.Fry Reviews

'A most incredible man... the most variously gifted Englishman of any age... the pre-eminent all-rounder, not merely of his own age but, so far as is measurable, of all English history.' John Arlott 'This is a book that rises to its subject's level in fascination, entertainment and brilliance.' - Tim Rice, Literary Review 'He has written what should come to be regarded as one of the very best sporting biographies. I could not put it down.' - Michael Kennedy, Sunday Telegraph 'This is a well-researched, well-rounded picture of one of England's great sporting heroes.' - Jeremy Paxman, Mail on Sunday
